Blackback looking lost (Larus marinus)

On my way home, I walked downriver all the way to town, then up the hill home. This Black-backed Gull was standing on a rock just below the highway bridge. That's further from the fjord than I'd seen one before.

There must have been something nice to tempt him in so far.... unless he's a windblown waif, of course.

Nicely taken Ann.
 
A lovely setting for the handsome Black-backed, Doc !!! Thanks for sharing.
